Question

A fraction can be called a percentage if its denominator is ______.

• A. 10
• B. 1
• C. 100
• D. 1/10

Answer 1

The correct option is C 100

A fraction can be called a percentage if its denominator is $\underset{–}{100}$.

Example: $2/5$ is a fraction and $\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\times 20}{5\times 20}=\frac{40}{100};$ hence, $2/5$ is $40\%$.
